Your OS?

[Ringo]

I was just reading another news story about Microsoft and the Justice Department (Talks Collapse) and got to wondering as to the extent of the MS monopoly.

So, what OS do you use? Surely we've got some Macs and Linux driven visitors, and possibly some others.

For my part, W95 at home, NT at work.

[Max Torque]

MacOS 8.1. I use Windows computers occasionally at school, but I'd never own one.

95 at work, NT Server at home!

[MadPoet]

At work I use 98, at home I have systems running NT server, 98, Linux, and Novell DOS.

I am on my little PowerMac now, it's running OS 8.1. (Same as you, Max!) I am planning on making the transition to Macs.

I also have a Windows 98 machine.

I use OS 8.1 here on my home computer, and either System 7.5 or Windows 98 at school, depending on which computers I can use.

I've got a PowerMac 6500/250 at home and a 350 MHz G4 at work, OS 9 on both. At work, I also use Virtual PC so I can access the one PC program I need, a crappy DOS theater reservation database.

Win 95. Just one computer, at home, an antique 486 from 1996 (Pentium? What's a Pentium? :rolleyes :), one of the old=fashioned ones that still requires a chicken to be sacrificed to it once a month in order to perform properly (remember those?) :D

[neuro-trash grrrl]

Well, I don't own a computer, but whenever I can, I use the school's Mac lab, which runs System 9. If the Mac lab is closed, I use a Linux box. Don't ask me which version of Linux they run, I have no idea. If, for whatever reason, I am forced to use a Windows machine, I go home and do something else.

Oh, and Win98.

[HeadlessCow]

I use Win2k normally and Win98 when I try to play games the Win2k can't handle.

[Patty O'Furniture]

Win95 still purrrrring right along at home, networked to an NT proxy server so I don't have to look at the stupid banner ad that freeDSL.com puts up there. NT4.0 at work.

Mac OS 8.6, I'm kinda waiting to see what OSx is all about.

I'm forced to use win95 at work.
At home I use linux 2.2.14 on 3 computers (including my i-net gateway/proxy), solaris 7, and win98 for games. (double gloat)

if you care, I use netgear, linksys and 3com ethernet cards, and a linksys 5 port hub (soon adding a 24 port switch).

Mac 8.6 on the main partition; Mac 8.1 on another; OS X Server on yet a third, but I confess I haven't used it for much of anything yet.

In emulation under VirtualPC, NT Server and Windows95 and Windows3.11

In emulation under UAE, AmigaOS, which again I must confess I haven't used for much yet.

In emulation under VMac, Macintosh systems 1.1 through 7.5

I run Linux. Specifically, Debian 2.2 (frozen) with the 2.1.14 kernel.

The family computer runs Windows 95 but I didn't want to buy Windows for this system. I'm just about to download the free BeOS, though.

So are you a kernel hacker and patch your own bugs? or have you just been lucky? I'd tend not to use a development kernel, personally.

2.2.14. You know I mean 2.2.14 :P Although I *did* run the 2.1.x series a while ago because I wanted some of the developmental drivers.. I haven't messed with the code, though, if only because it'd screw up official patches and downloading the whole thing again over a modem isn't fun..

Wow, I thought I would have everyone beat. Enigmaone takes the prize, though.

I've got pretty much everything he's got -- but I've also got Macs at work running OS 7.5.5, 8.1, 8.5, and 9 -- and I'm working on getting a copy of Linux PPC running.

actually I wasn't being a smart ass. I know 2 people who purposely use the x.1.x kernels for bughunts and to experiment.

I was getting ready to bow to your superiority, because there's no way I'd do it. I'm not that smart.

Win95 on my desk top and laptop.

I once visited a website to download some stuff and the owner promptly informed all visitors to go to one section for all WINDOWS and as for MAC uses, he suggested that they unplug their computers and throw them out the window.

I don't know, because, I've never used MAC. Everything I need has been on WINDOWS.

[AHunter3]

Just picked up an sale-priced copy of VirtualPC with Red Hat Linux. Haven't used it for much yet, but does browsing to this site using Netscape for Linux count?

So anyway, I just counted and came to a pretty impressive conclusion if I'm allowed to count all the OS's I have installed on my laptop, and which will boot and in which I can do complicated things like delete or rename a file :) --

Macintosh System 1.1
Macintosh System 2.0
Macintosh System 3.0
Macintosh System 4.0
Macintosh System 4.1
Macintosh System 6.0.8
Macintosh System 7.1
Macintosh System 7.5
MacOS 8.1
MacOS 8.6
Mac OS X Server 1.0
MS Windows 95
MS Windows NT Server 4.0 Sv Pk 1
Red Hat Linux v.?? (OK, I don't know...
AmigaOS Workbench 40.42

That's 15 operating systems. (I can't count the Palm Pilot emulator until I get it to run)
